The LIC brand is one of the key drivers in maintaining our leadership position in the life insurance industry and our business model has been very customer-centric in nature.
The sense of trust is still a mainstay amongst individuals and it is important to note that even after 65 years of existence and attending to the country and its countrymen, we still hold 2/3 market share when it comes to gross written premium and new business policies in FY21.
In group New Business Premium LIC continues to dominate the market accounting for more than 75% market share in FY21

We had 286 mn policies in force under Individual business within India as at March 31, 2021, greater than the 4th largest country population-wise as of CY2020. Even though we are seeing an increase in competition from private insurers our customer-first culture and approach has held our fort well and we will strive to constantly innovate our product offerings and distribution methods as well as the way we service our customers physically and now more so digitally. Also it is important to note that historically life insurance policies have been saving-oriented.
